Hungry Jack’s Cosmic Storm
Cosmic Storm Shake at home is a deliciously fun challenge. This shake is a galaxy of colors, flavors, and textures, perfect for a treat that feels out of this world. Here’s how you can recreate this dreamy beverage from scratch, using ingredients and techniques easily available in your kitchen.
Ingredients
For the Cosmic Storm Base Shake:
- Vanilla Ice Cream: 4 scoops (choose a rich, creamy brand for the best results)
- Full-Cream Milk: 1 cup (to adjust the thickness of your shake)
- White Sugar: 1–2 teaspoons (optional, if you like your shake sweeter)
For the Cosmic Storm Colors:
- Food Coloring:
- Purple (a mix of blue and red)
- Electric Blue
- Neon Pink
- Edible Glitter: To give your shake that starry, cosmic look
For the Cosmic Flavors:
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Raspberry Syrup: 2 tablespoons (adds a fruity punch)
- Blueberry Jam or Syrup: 2 tablespoons
For the Cosmic Shake Topping:
- Whipped Cream: A generous dollop or swirl
- Rainbow Sprinkles: For a splash of fun
- Mini Marshmallows: Optional, for a chewy texture contrast
- Glitter Gel Icing: To mimic a swirling galaxy
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Shake Base
- In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, full-cream milk, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your desired consistency—less milk for a thicker shake, more for a thinner one.
- Taste your base mixture and, if needed, add a touch of sugar for extra sweetness. Blend briefly again to mix.
2. Divide and Color
- Divide the shake base into three equal portions in separate bowls.
- Use food coloring to create your cosmic colors:
- Bowl 1: Add purple food coloring and stir until evenly blended.
- Bowl 2: Add electric blue food coloring and mix.
- Bowl 3: Add neon pink food coloring and stir.
3. Layer the Galaxy
- Grab a clear glass to showcase the colorful layers.
- Start by pouring a portion of the purple shake into the bottom of the glass.
- Slowly layer the electric blue shake on top of the purple. Use the back of a spoon to pour the blue layer gently to avoid mixing with the layer below.
- Finish with the neon pink shake on top, again pouring carefully to maintain distinct layers.
4. Add Cosmic Swirls
- Take a small skewer or the back of a spoon to create gentle swirls in the layers. This will give your shake a galactic, swirling effect without completely mixing the colors.
- Add a light sprinkle of edible glitter across the top to mimic stars and cosmic dust.
5. Top It Off
- Pipe a generous swirl of whipped cream on top. Use a star-shaped piping nozzle for a fancier look.
- Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the whipped cream for a burst of color.
- Add a few mini marshmallows if you’re feeling extra indulgent.
6. Final Cosmic Touch
- Use glitter gel icing to create galaxy-like streaks on the inside of the glass. Draw these streaks before pouring the shake for a more dramatic effect.
- Optionally, drizzle raspberry syrup or blueberry jam around the inner rim of the glass to mimic nebula-like streaks.
Optional Enhancements
Add Some Crunch
For those who love a textural surprise, you can sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate chips between the layers for a meteor-like crunch.
Extra Fruity Flavor
If you’re a fan of fruit-forward shakes, blend some fresh or frozen blueberries and raspberries into the blue and purple portions, respectively. This will enhance the fruity profile of the drink and give it a richer, natural color.
Make It Extra Frosty
To keep the shake cold longer, chill your glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before layering the shake.
Boba Pearls
For a trendy twist, add boba pearls at the bottom of the glass to create a planet-like effect.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve your Cosmic Storm Shake with a funky, colorful straw for the full Hungry Jack’s vibe.
- A clear dome lid (like those used in milkshake cups) can be used if you want to enjoy the aesthetic before digging in.
- Pair the shake with a simple snack like fries or cookies to balance its sweetness.
This Cosmic Storm Shake is perfect for birthdays, themed parties, or even just as a treat to brighten your day!
